Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at HCM.
Seems to be a case of recurrence of candidal vulvo-vaginitis.
I would like you to get a blood sugar test to rule out any possibility of Diabetes since raised blood sugar can lead to recurrent candidal infections.
If i was you treating doctor i would have asked you to take an oral anti-fungal like fluconazole 150mg,single dose.
A clotrimazole vaginal pessary once daily for 7 days would be sufficient to treat the episode.
take care
regards
